A 77-piece squad from the City of Prague philharmonic orchestra and 32-part chorus performed the soundtrack itself. Each the five realms of the Primal universe are each represented by a separate musical identity, with common classical influences and even soprano vocal solos.


Andrew Barnabas comments upon his score: "When we were first asked to compose the music to such a dark gothic fantasy, we never thought we would get the go-ahead - or the budgets - to write what has effectively turned into a full-scale movie score. Videogames have finally come of age in musical terms. Eat your heart out John Williams."

Line 42: Line 49:


Each of the realms explored in ''Primal'' have their own theme and musical signature. Gongs, percussion, low choir and brass were used for [[Solum]] and the themes were solely for [[Herne]] and Jared. The [[Aquis]] realm contained choirs, woodwinds, high strings and two harps to instil a sense of tranquility - the main theme being for [[Aino]]. The dramatic nature of Russian music combined with emotive violin made up the [[Aetha]] soundtrack. The Volca themes were few, but consisted of a combination of Egyptian, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern musical influence - the Alto Flute playing an important role.
